🤖 Introduction

ShopStack is a production-ready foundation for a marketplace-style commerce platform that combines a storefront, vendor workspace, and admin console into one codebase. It emphasizes a modern React 19 UI, file-based routing, and a type-safe, server-function-first approach to backend logic.

It is designed for three primary audiences:

• Customers: Browse products, manage orders, and shop.
• Vendors: Manage stores, inventory, staff, and operations.
• Admins: Oversee tenants, platform configuration, and global catalogs.

The project features a complete UI structure with authentication and vendor onboarding wired to the database, using mock data for some management pages to showcase layouts while backend modules are completed.

⚙️ Tech Stack

• TanStack Start: A full-stack React framework with server-side rendering, file-based routing, and server functions.
• TanStack Router: A fully type-safe router for React applications, providing file-based routing.
• TanStack Query: Powerful asynchronous state management for fetching, caching, and updating server state.
• TanStack Table: Headless UI for building powerful and performant tables and datagrids.
• Drizzle ORM: A lightweight and type-safe TypeScript ORM for interacting with the database.
• Neon Postgres: Serverless Postgres built for the cloud, providing scalability and performance.
• Better Auth: Comprehensive authentication library for TypeScript, supporting email/password, social providers, and 2FA.
• Tailwind CSS 4: A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development with a focus on modern features.
• Radix UI: Unstyled, accessible components for building high-quality design systems and web apps.
• Zustand: A small, fast, and scalable bearbones state-management solution.
• Bun: A fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime and toolkit.
